If you see somebody running at full speed towards you do you just stand there? Of course not. It's a normal human reaction to get out of the way.
Nowhere in that video did I see the guy actually "run". This officer is going to get what he deserves one way or another. This is truly saddening to
see such behavior by a LEO. Now that I've seen this video, if an officer ever ran up on me like that he sure as hell will be getting a clothes line.
I don't even care if I get tossed in jail for it, jail is much better than being an innocent vegetable.

This officer will get justice served to him, only this justice will be street justice.

The officer charged forward with the same movement of a trained grappler. He also outweighed the man by quite a bit. A human being can cause the
same damage to another human being as a car does at slower speeds. The way his head hit was very unfortunate. It was the officers fault of
course.

Hey guys has the video been removed? All I am getting is a play symbol with a line through it and when I go to the link it's says it can't load
video.

To be honest I don't need to see it of the descriptions above are accurate, seems an absolute travesty. Really hope that this 'police man' is
jailed and the family get a big compensation payout to take care of him.

I always thought that when stopping a felony suspect, protocol was to draw your weapon, order the suspect to the ground (verbally), have him or her
lay prone and lace fingers behind their head.

What this bastard did was full on intent to maim. He needs to be arrested, charged with attempted murder (may turn into murder/ manslaughter, poor
victim) and stuck in his own dept holding cell with no bail.

It takes a certain mentality to want to be a cop. This is a prime example of the type of person we give license to kill if necessary

what was the reason given for chasing down the citizen? this was no "accident" (unless you mean that he didnt intend to cause that degree of harm)
as he did intend to push the young man down with the force of his weight and speed (fr running). if he was apprehending a shoplifter (alleged) all he
had to do was grab the person when he closed the distance to the point where he could push him. the police ("officer" or security guard,
personally, and his department or employeer, should be held liable for actual and punitive damages. if police realize that they are at personal and
financial risk for misbehavior (not just physical risk by getting shot if you dont shoot some guy with a golf club first) then maybe they would think
first before acting so brutally. in addition to financial penalties they need to be held to the same legal standards - just because you have the
power to arrest or serve a warrant doesnt mean that you have the right to inflict unnecessary harm. this officer/security guard should be charged
with assault (they get away with the gray area too often; guy was backing away or held a golf club fr 15 ft away, etc).
Actions have consequences.
